The source calls every named participant a “School Based Decision Making Council Member.” It does not identify whether each person serves as a parent, teacher, principal, or another capacity, so Election.org does not infer one.

This is an annual historical snapshot, not a claim that every named person remains in office today. The connected file does not establish seats, terms, election method, election results, officer roles, contacts, meeting votes, or exact seat boundaries. “Vacant,” “TBD,” and “Exempt” source values are statuses—not people.

Source-reported nominal dollars. Amount fields are converted from source thousands to dollars. No inflation adjustment is applied. An exact identifier links published source rows; it does not erase consolidations, closures, reorganizations, or other real institutional changes between years. Constant-dollar comparisons use BLS CPI-U series CUUR0000SA0, annual U.S. city average; this is not a local cost-of-living index. Joined by exact Census PID6 or NCES LEAID; names are never used.

The federal layer is useful—but it is not the whole school board.

  • Current-service confirmation, board officer roles, exact seats, terms, and present vacancies
  • Election method, next election, candidates, filing rules, and official result history
  • Exact attendance and board-seat boundaries for an address
  • Normalized meeting agendas, minutes, recorded votes, and decision history
  • School-level outcomes, audited contracts and vendors, and inflation-adjusted spending comparisons
